Magical Tours Bulgaria is the trading name of Montravel EOOD – a licensed tour operator registered with the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Bulgaria, Licence No. PK-01-7940.
We are a team of professional mountain guides, naturalists, and adventure specialists who turned a lifelong obsession with Bulgaria’s wild places into a business. Not the other way around.
Long before Magical Tours Bulgaria existed, our founder Dobrin Dobrev was already out there – hiking ridgelines at dawn, foraging for mushrooms in ancient forests, descending into cave systems that most people will never see, and learning every trail, peak, gorge, and hidden valley that Bulgaria’s extraordinary landscape has to offer. The mountains were not a career choice. They were a calling. The company simply made it official.
Today, guided by that same passion, our handpicked team of specialists takes guests from across the world into the heart of Bulgaria — to places no bus tour reaches, no guidebook adequately describes, and no city hotel can prepare you for. We have welcomed hundreds and thousands of happy guests from every corner of the globe, and every single trip is guided with the same care, expertise, and genuine love for this remarkable country.
This is not a job for us. This is a lifestyle – and we are delighted to share it with you.
Dobrin Dobrev founded Magical Tours Bulgaria with one clear ambition: to show the world a version of Bulgaria that most visitors never get to experience. Educated, qualified, and deeply experienced, Dobrin brings a rare combination of academic knowledge and true mountain expertise to every tour he leads.
Qualifications and licences:
Languages spoken: English, German, Russian, and Bulgarian
Dobrin leads tours with patience, warmth, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of Bulgarian nature, history, and culture. Guests consistently describe him as the highlight of their trip – and reading the reviews, it is easy to understand why.
Behind every great adventure is a great team. Alongside Dobrin, Magical Tours Bulgaria works with a carefully selected group of specialist guides – each one an expert in their field, each one sharing the same core values: safety first, guest satisfaction always, and an authentic love for Bulgaria’s mountains and wild spaces.
Our guides are chosen for their qualifications, their local knowledge, and above all, their ability to make every guest feel safe, welcome, and genuinely looked after – whether you are an experienced hiker tackling a demanding summit or a first-time visitor stepping onto a mountain trail for the very first time.
Bulgaria is one of Europe’s most spectacular and least-discovered countries. Six mountain ranges, hundreds of cave systems, ancient forests, glacial lakes, thermal springs, and wildlife that most of Western Europe lost long ago. We have spent years getting to know all of it – and we have designed our tours to share the very best of it with you.
Mountain Hiking and Trekking From gentle day walks through alpine meadows to demanding multi-day treks across the Central Balkan, Rila, Rhodopes, and Pirin ranges. Every route is chosen for its scenery, character, and the kind of views that stay with you long after you return home.
Cave and Gorge Exploration Bulgaria has some of the most extraordinary cave systems and river gorges in Europe. We take small groups into these remarkable places with full safety equipment, expert guidance, and the kind of insider knowledge that only years of hands-on exploration can provide.
Foraging and Nature Experiences One of our most beloved offerings. Walk the forests with your guide, learn to identify wild mushrooms, herbs, and edible plants, then sit down to a freshly cooked meal made entirely from what you found. It is an experience that stays with guests long after they leave Bulgaria.
Winter Adventures and Snowshoeing Bulgaria’s mountains in winter are a different world entirely – silent, snow-covered, and breathtaking. Our winter tours combine snowshoeing, mountain exploration, and the incomparable pleasure of a thermal spa at the end of the day. There is nothing quite like it.
We are genuinely local. Our base is in the nature, not in a tourist office. Our knowledge of Bulgaria’s mountains, trails, wildlife, and hidden places is firsthand, authentic, and constantly updated. We know where to go because we go there ourselves, every week, all year round.
We are fully licensed and insured. Magical Tours Bulgaria is a registered tour operator licensed by the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Bulgaria (Licence No. PK-01-7940). Our guides hold individual Ministry of Tourism licences. We carry full professional liability insurance. When you travel with us, you are in safe, qualified, accountable hands.
Small groups. Personal attention. We deliberately keep our group sizes small. This is not a coach tour. There is no rushing, no waiting, no feeling like a number. Your pace, your interests, your experience – that is what matters to us.
We speak your language. English, German, Russian, and Bulgarian. Clear communication from the moment you first contact us to the moment you reach the summit.
Five stars, every time. We maintain a 5.0-star rating across Google, TripAdvisor and GetYourGuide. We are proud of that rating – and we work hard every single day to keep it. Your satisfaction is not a target. It is our standard.
“This truly was a magical experience. The knowledge, the warmth, the freshly cooked meal in the middle of the forest after a morning of foraging – I could not have imagined a better day in Bulgaria.” – Verified guest, TripAdvisor
“Patient, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and genuinely passionate about Bulgaria. The hike was spectacular, and finishing the day at the thermal baths was perfect. Highly recommended to anyone.” – Verified guest, TripAdvisor
“I felt safe every step of the way and still completely free to enjoy the adventure on my own terms. The route, the pace, the stories along the trail – everything was exactly right.” – Verified guest, TripAdvisor
Bulgaria is waiting. Its mountains are older than memory, its forests deeper than most people ever explore, and its trails more rewarding than anything you will find on a standard tourist itinerary.
We know the way. We cannot wait to show you.
